The Treasury – Walkthrough by MaD-SaM
INTRODUCTION – This Walkthrough
Being the first Thief player to complete this mission, and Bryan having to go away for the
week, he has asked me to write this walkthrough for you, as the mission is very hard…
So here I go.
I recommend you play this mission on normal or hard as it lets you explore more without
having to be careful about avoiding the guards. Before you go through this walk-through. I
suggest that you do not use this walkthrough unless you are going to delete the mission
because you can’t get any further. Its always good to look everywhere for the hidden
surprises as not everything is covered in this walkthrough. Read all the books and look in
every room. This is just a quick guide.
This walkthrough covers the mission through expert mode, so that means you won’t be
killing anything and you’ll need to complete the mission fully by collecting a lot of
gold.
START – The Shop
The best buy is usually 1 health potion, 1 gas arrow, 2 noise arrows, 2 water arrows and
the rest on broad head arrows. This should provide you with the tools needed for the
mission.
PART 1 - Entrance
You start the level having been helped over the gate by good old MaD-SaM. Yeah that’s
me! Well if you read the readme it says I’m a petty thief. Landing at your feet, I
say a few words to you. Listen and as soon as the sort conversation has finished turn
around and head down what looks like a small alley. Coming to the end of this brings you
to the front of the complex. Turn around and pick open the nearest door, enter and look
around for some coin stacks and read the book. Leave the room and knock out the guard
patrolling the front gate. He will not attack you if he sees you, only when you have hit
him or you try and steal his bag of gold. When you’ve knocked him out get his money
bag and open the next door. Watch out though because there’s a guard in there. What
you need to do is wait until he is not facing the door, then run in and use your blackjack
on the taffer. Now press the lever, which will bring down the drawbridge.
This gives you access to the keep, but there are 2 other ways to get in. 1) jump in the
moat and there should be a water passage, this will lead you to the well inside. The other
way is by opening the trap door, were people are hanged. This leads to a passageway
inside, into one of the 4 towers.
PART 2 - Inside the Keep
Make you way over the drawbridge and admire the gears but don’t mess about too long
because there’s a two-man patrol inside looking for you. What you need to do is wait
in the dark until they walk past and then use your black jack on them both. Now
you’re in the keep you need to find the power generator so you can light up the rooms
around you. So head around the centre building until you find a door that opens to a small
room with a generator and two switches in it. Press these two so that they are both down.
Now the lights are on. WAHAY! Now head left when you leave to another room were the
Sergeant is swaying due to the brew. Knock him out and pick the two foot lockers, which
store some gold and the other a cucumber. Now pick the door. Go through the door to find a
storage room. In here there’s a healing potion on the floor, a bottle of fine wine
gathered with the bottles and a chest on the top shelf. You need the key! Well go back
into the first room and look behind the banner near the bed. The key should be here. Now
you have the key you can open the chest to find a ring and if you look through your
inventory you have also picked up another key. Hmm sneaky!
This key opens the gate into the Cray Caves, which should lead you to the treasury. Now
getting to the Cray Caves is another problem.
For extra health leave find the kitchen and there should be some fruit, take them as when
eaten they give you 2 health points.
PART 3 - Getting to the Cave entrance
Now you have the key to the Cray Cave entrance gate. But you have to find it. If you look
at the map the cave looks to be coming from one of the towers. To find the tower
entrance, just walk around until you see a door on a tower wall. Pick this door and go in
up the steps. Watch out because there’s two guards. You can use your blackjack on
them quickly and then drag them out of the way. Make you way around the towers until you
come to the last one. Knock out all the men on the way, but watch out for the bow men. I
suggest you use you water arrows in the towers and wait for them. There are three bowmen
patrolling so watch out. Once you get to the last tower look down into the lower section
of the tower were you would see 4 spiders and a portcullis. Stumble down the ladder, kill
the spiders and use your found key on the portcullis. Now go down that ladder and you will
be in the cave.
PART 4 – In the caves
Now you may need to save it a few times because the cave’s has many surprises inside
that can lead to death. First of all you must notice that there’s a Cray patrol group
consisting of 3-4 Craymen. You can easily avoid this patrol but if you get seen, I just
suggest you’d run. First of all you need to find the Horn or Quintas. This is quit
easy to find. Turn right as you enter the cave and then follow it around until you come to
another junction. Here turn left to a sloping tunnel. Once at the end jump up and grab the
Horn but quickly run back up to avoid the Bug Beast. Now you need to find the entrance to
the treasury complex. But to do this you need to find a key that opens a door there. Now
from were you are, go straight on until you come to a big junction do a 180 degree turn
left into the other cave, this should lead down to another area. To get down here just
keep running, Past the monkey man and to a ladder. Make sure you hit the floor panel
before you descend the ladder because it opens the portcullis at the top. Now climb out to
find a tomb type area.
Now there’s a small puzzle, don’t walk to far forward or you will most
likely fall down into a spiked pit as some of the floor panels fall. What you need to do
is look at the skulls and hammers on the floor. This is the floor arrangement; a hammer is
a safe step and the skulls are a falling panel. Now you need to rotate the image in your
mind 90 degree’s, this is the floor layout, so make you way across. When you’re
on the other side press the switch but hurry, it has made the moving wall move towards the
wall in which you need to get across. So run over the plank to the other side to get the
key. Now you have the key you need to find the Treasury entrance.
Leave the area through the hole and back into the caves. Turn right and follow the
path around to avoid the Cray patrol group. Now this should take you back the entrance to
the cave. Go back the to the huge junction and find the cave that leads to a large hole in
the ground, if you’ve fallen down it then don’t worry, your in the right place,
its just you missed the gold nugget, which can be found when you jump over the hole. When
your down here there is another hole in this flooded area, you can choose to go down here
but it leads to death but also leads to the credits. If you don’t want to die find
the cave that is Horizontal, there is only one. Make your way to this and mantel yourself
up. Go through to find the treasury entrance. You will find a room at the end and a door.
Use your key on the door and you’re in.
PART 5 - The Treasury
Once in press the button and then open the door to your left. The floating platform should
be coming towards you. Once it’s stopped, walk on to it and get a broadhead arrow
ready. Now you have to hit the right switch on the other side to make the platform go back
across. Once across get into the lift and press the button inside. This will take you
down. At the bottom there’s a room, open the door and knock out the hammer guard. Now
there’s a few guards patrolling in here so look around the corners and wait until
there’s no guards. When there are no guards run left, to the nearest room, which
should be the kitchen. If you find it hard to get there without being seen then I suggest
you use a noise arrow to distract the guards and make them go away. In here knock out the
women; take the fruit in the pan on the cooker and the fine wine on the shelf. Leave using
the other door that faces another door; go into the facing door that leads to a dining
area. There’s some expensive cookery equipment here so collect it all. Once
you’ve done this you need to make you way to the master bedroom. >From the dining room
open the closed door and turn left, make sure no one sees you and run down the corridor
which should take you to a door that needs to be picked. Pick it and enter. Welcome to the
master bedroom.
In here you need to do two things, first of all you need to open the safe. To do
this go to the cabinet and look for the switch on the side of it. Press this and it will
open, collect all the keys and read the book below the safe. Now use one of the keys to
open the chest on the other side of the bed. This has a clue into what combination is
needed to open to vault to the treasury. So study it. Check the bathroom out and mess
around with the shower. When you’ve finished playing, leave and run back along the
corridor, now turn left and enter to first door which should be a room with a giant hammer
attached to the ceiling, this is the counting room. Use you noise arrow and you gas arrow
to get here, hopefully without being seen. But it’s hard. In here there’s some
staff working, just run past all them. Now pick up all the money off the two tables and
get you vault door key ready. Now leave the room on the east side were there should be a
door directly facing the one you have just opened, use your key on this door and jump in
without being seen by a hammer. Shut the door, lock it and then save it.
PART 6 – The vault
Hmm, you’re so near to completing the level but there’s one big task in front of
you. You need to enter the correct combination of numbers, first time, to gain access.
Right, open the scroll that describes the vault code entry, It says "2:53Hrs. (Time
for thought!)" Just enter the number 723, this is the correct code and should get you
in. Once the vault door is open press the button that opens the town portcullises, You
should be able to knock Lord FartInHale (The Hammer priest) out with you black jack
without even him noticing.
Now collect all that gold but don’t bother with the key, as you can’t
pick it up because Lord FartInHale accidentally clued it to the shelf. Once you’ve
got it all you should have more than 7000 gold. If you don’t, look around but watch
out for the guards.
Now you’ve got to get out!
PART 7 – Escaping the treasury
Getting out is not a problem, just run past everything and back to the way you came in.
That’s the lift. Remember to use your key to reverse the Iron Way Controls, when done
Get back in the lift and cross the garden high above on the platform. Once you’re
back in that first room, use the door which was locked and use one of your many keys to
open it. Now run down the very long passage to the Elevator. There should be two levers
and a switch, press all of these,s the button brings down the elevator while the levers
open both portcullises. Once the lift as stopped, get on and press the button inside to
make it rise back up, If you didn’t press both of the levers then the portcullis at
the top of the elevator is probably closed. When you’re out, head back to the area
where you started the mission. That’s it, you have completed "The Treasury by
